The Captur does impress when it comes to ride and handling. The acceleration was smooth and responsive through the six speeds and there was always plenty of power on tap to overtake as tractors and other farm equipment clogged up the roads. On sweeping country roads, it was great fun as it whizzed along the lanes at quite a click. But that’s certainly not the case with the Captur. Some cars that offer such frugal running costs deliver a pretty lackluster driving experience. That’s because this model can deliver combined fuel efficiency of 76.4mpg with carbon emissions of 98g/km. While these figures may not sound over-impressive, there is one stat that should make potential buyers sit up and listen and that’s the economy. It is the most powerful diesel engine available delivering 260Nm of torque which helps the Captur sprint from 0 to 62mph in 11.0 seconds and onto a top speed of 109mph. This car is powered by the 1.5-litre dCi 110bhp diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. We opted for the Dynamique S Nav model priced at £21,075. With 20 different models to choose from varying in engine power, trim levels, fuel type and transmission types, there would appear to be a Renault Captur to suit all tastes. ![]()
